Course overview

In this course, students will explore diverse service contexts and types of service delivery in clinical practice. Students will have the opportunity to examine relevant government and professional policies and procedures that guide service delivery, and explore factors that will influence the adequacy and efficacy of service delivery options for client-centred and culturally safe practice.

  • Critically analyse key government and professional policies that impact speech pathology service delivery, including policies related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heath.
  • Identify the social determinants of health that impact on clients with communication and/or swallowing needs in different contexts.
  • Critically appraise service delivery options in different contexts to predict the likely outcomes of speech pathology intervention.
  • Design client-centred speech pathology interventions that are clinically and culturally appropriate to individual circumstances
